The heroine is careless, irresponsible and a damn nuisance. She allowed her mother's berries to get moldy by putting them in a wet basket. Her mother needs these berries to make pies to sell for income. She goes out to pick more berries, but instead in picking them and coming right back, she is lollygagging and get her foot caught in a trap. Which causes everybody extra work to come to her aid.

The heroine is selfish and lazy. She is a country miss, not gentry, she has no servants, so she is expected to marry a county dude, so she needs to know how to cook. But little miss selfish lazy doesn't want to learn.
